For those who play on the gamepad, possibly allow an option in the system (kind of like legacy camera) to choose to be able to place aoe abilities such as freeze, shadowflare, and even pet placement with the mouse. (Not just with the fixed position in gamepad mode by moving the camera). Having to reposition your camera to place any of these abilities is very dangerous, especially when dodging moves from monsters.

Camate, can you please pass on my desperate pleas for the team to reconsider the importance of the chat background transparency slider? I don't think you realize how much physical distress the mostly transparent chat box is causing some of us. I can't read chat unless it's night time or I'm in a dark, shadowy cave. Brushing this off as non-important is extremely disheartening to those of us experiencing very real problems due to its design.

While being able to adjust the transparency of the chat box would be great, I really don't think it's nearly as grave a situation as you are making it out to be. Either something is very wrong with your eyes, or you need to adjust your monitor, because neither I nor anyone I know playing the game has any issue reading the chat box at all.

They also said it wasn't a top priority in their UI tweaks and not something that'd be up for 2.1. However, this is something that causes me and others physical pain. It damn well better be a top priority for UI design.

Yes, thank you for pointing out my disability. I'm sorry I can't see fine details as well as many players (especially when those details - the lettering in the chat box - are obscured by even more varied color details in the background that are not that distinguished in palette than the colors options for the chat), but that doesn't mean I should have to suffer through near-migraines just to read the chat box.

Not sure if anyone has suggested having all the bags open at once to make organizing easier. Just a button for this who wish to see all bags. To To clarify, not an option to open all bags on retainers and person just one at each storage to see all spaces. Thank you.

I have tested it right now.
If you have gamepad mode on, than you can't move the circle with a real (PC) mouse without moving also the camera. But if you switch with your gamepad in the Gamepad/Mouse mode (L1+R3), then you can move it with the right analogstick without that you move the camera. L2 work then as the left mouse button.
